ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener­ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accord ance with the in struct ions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, this is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to ra dio or te levision r e ceptio n,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Important Safety Instructions

18. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the product into
a proper power source, as described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.

19. Avoid Power Lines – Use extreme care when install­ing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead
power lines or other electric light or power cir cuits, nor
where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power
lines.

20. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
will provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc

Setting Up Your Acoustic Wave® II CD Changer

Selecting a location for your music system and changer

The Acoustic Wave® II CD changer is designed to fit under your Acoustic Wave® music sys­tem II. Before you connect the two, however, select a good location for the stacked units.

When choosing the location, remember that the tonal quality of your Acoustic Wave® music
system II, as with any high-performance sound system, will vary with room placement.

Feel free to try different locations, but keep the following guidelines in mind:

• The Acoustic Wave® music system II is designed to sound best when placed on a shelf,
counter, desk, or table top, 30 to 48 inches (75 to 120 cm) from the floor.

• The CD player in the Acoustic W ave® music system II needs an allowance of several inches
for the CD cover on top of the music system to open.

• The Acoustic Wave® music system II should be near the center of a wall and 6 inches (15
cm), or less, away from the wall.

• To increase the bass response, move the unit toward any corner of the room; to decrease
bass response, move it away from the corner.

Seating your Acoustic Wave® music system II on the CD changer

With the CD changer in your chosen location, carefully set your Acoustic Wave® music
system II on top of the CD changer (Figure 2a).

• Make sure the Acoustic Wave® music system II fits onto the raised guides on t op of t he CD
changer.

English FrançaisEspañol

• Make sure the Acoustic W ave® music system II sits flat and the side edges of both units are
aligned.

• Make sure there is a clear optical path in front of the unit to allow the infrared emitters and
receivers to communicate (
